Bloomberg News reporter Sarah Frier, who covers social media companies, is moving to a senior reporting role covering tech power.
“I’ll aim for high-impact stories, Businessweek long form, explanatory pieces, etc.,” she wrote on Twitter. “It’s going to be a big change and a challenge, but I’m very excited to take it on!”
Frier won the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year competition in 2020 for “No Filter,” her book about Instagram and its purchase by Facebook.
Frier is based in San Francisco and focused a lot of her coverage on Facebook and Snapchat. She has been at Bloomberg since June 2011.
She is a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, where she was editor of The Daily Tar Heel.
